This nice lady has a fabulous blog all about making vegan ice cream. It's very easy, if you have an ice cream maker, and if you like ice-cream, you can save a lot of money by making your own. Here's the link:

She has evidently aroused the wrath of the self-appointed vegan patrol by creating Guinness Ice Cream. Guinness is not vegan, because it contains isinglass, which is made from the swim bladders of fish. I was actually going to say I would still try the Guinness Ice Cream anyway because it sounds so good, but the idea of eating fish bladder ice cream actually...grosses me out a little. I don't think she deserves to get attacked by angry vegans, though. She's totally right - being vegan isn't hard, and making it seem all nitpicky and fiddly doesn't encourage fence-sitting vegetarians to hop over into our yard.

But wait! Couldn't I just use a vegan Guinness substitute? Here's a link about vegan and non-vegan beers:

I'm sure I could find something suitable.
